Description
WO 2015/067787 PCT/EP2014/074108 CRYSTALLINE BETA-LACTAMASE INHIBITOR Field of the invention The present invention relates to crystalline (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3 triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide, processes for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising (2S,3S,5R) 3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4-thia-1 azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide and uses of the compound, including uses of compositions containing the compound, in particular use with an antibacterial agent in treatment or prevention of bacterial infection. Background of the invention Emergence and dissemination of resistance is an inevitable consequence of the evolutionary dynamic set in motion by the introduction of antibiotics, irrespective of structural class or mode of action (Shapiro S. 2013. Speculative strategies for new antibacterials: all roads should not lead to Rome. J. Antibiot. 66: 371-386). Spread of resistance amongst clinically relevant pathogens has had an especially strong impact on the value of P-lactam antibiotics, heretofore regarded as very safe and efficacious therapies for serious bacterial infections. The appearance of new and aggressive p-lactamases, particularly extended spectrum p lactamases (ESBLs) and other class A enzymes, has compromised the ability of p-lactams to combat infections, highlighting the need for development of new products (Fisher JF, Meroueh SO, Mobashery S. 2005. Bacterial resistance to p-lactam antibiotics: compelling opportunism, compelling opportunity. Chem. Rev. 105: 395-424). Whilst several p-lactamase inhibitors, which protect p-lactam antibiotics from hydrolysis, have been used in combination with some p-lactams, the capability of these p-lactamase inhibitors to preserve the antibacterial activity of p-lactams has eroded severely during the past decade, necessitating the search for new, more potent p-lactamase inhibitors to restore therapeutic utility of their P-lactam partners (Watkins RR, Papp-Wallace KM, Drawz SM, Bonomo RA. 2013. Novel p-lactamase inhibitors: a therapeutic hope against the scourge of multidrug resistance. Front. Microbiol. 4: 392). 1 WO 2015/067787 PCT/EP2014/074108 WO 2008/010048 discloses the P -lactamase inhibitor (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H 1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4 dioxide (formula I): H O 0 tS N N 0 0 (Formula I) WO 2008/010048 discloses formation of an amorphous compound of Formula (I) which is isolated by filtering and lyophilisation.

The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and the solid 23 WO 2015/067787 PCT/EP2014/074108 was isolated by filtration and dried overnight at room temperature in a vacuum oven. The solid recovered was crystalline Form A characterized by XRPD concordant with XRPD pattern given in Example 1.

The solid was suspended in ethanol 96% (32 mL). The mixture was heated to 35 0 C and stirred at 800 RPM. At 35 0 C the starting material seemed to be dissolved but the solution appeared slightly opaque. Methyl tert-butyl ether (8 mL) as antisolvent was added to the opaque solution over 1 hour. The addition of the antisolvent resulted in a solid formation. The mixture was cooled down to 10'C over 1 hour. During the cooling ramp the material became sticky and the majority of the material adhered to the vessel walls. The mixture was stirred overnight and the solid obtained was discharged from the vessel by mechanical removal of the sticky solid from the vessel wall. The obtained mixture was filtered under vacuum; the cake was dried at room temperature in a vacuum oven for 60 hours to afford 2.75 g of a white solid.

Therefore, Form C was selected for further optimisation and scale-up of the crystallization process, and assessments as described below. Optimization of Form C crystallization Example 10 - Crystallization procedure using a Form C seed Preparation of (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo 4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide Form C Amorphous (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4 thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide (5 g) was weighed in a 50 ml multimax vessel equipped with an impeller stirrer. The solid was suspended in 20 ml of ethanol HPLC grade 99.8%. The mixture was heated to 40 'C and stirred at 700 RPM. At 40 'C the starting material was dissolved. The solution was cooled to 36 'C over 15 minutes and Form C material (27 mg) was added to the solution as seed; the seed was not dissolved and promoted the product crystallization. The mixture was cooled to 15 'C over 3.5 hours. The slurry was aged overnight and then was filtered under vacuum; the cake was dried at 30'C in a vacuum oven for 40 hours to afford 3.7 g of a white solid. The solid showed an XRPD pattern for Form C. 34 WO 2015/067787 PCT/EP2014/074108 The quality of the ethanol system was also investigated in the production of Form C material using 96% ethanol instead of ethanol HPLC grade 99.8% as described in Example 11. Example 11 Preparation of (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo 4-thia- 1 -azabicyclo [3.2.0] heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide Form A Amorphous (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4 thia-i-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide (5 g) was weighed in a 50 ml multimax vessel equipped with an impeller stirrer. The solid was suspended in 20 ml of ethanol 96%. The mixture was heated to 40 'C and stirred at 700 RPM. At 40 'C the starting material seemed to be dissolved but the solution appeared slightly opaque. The opaque solution was filtered through a syringe filter to obtain a clear solution. The solution was cooled to 35 'C over 15 minutes and Form C material (28 mg) was added to the solution as seed. After 10 minutes at 35 'C was dissolved. The temperature was lowered to 30 'C over 15 minutes and more Form C material (27 mg) was added as seed. The seed was dissolved after 15 minutes. The solution was heated up to 35 'C and a pinch of Form B material was added to the solution but was dissolved after few minutes. A pinch of Form A material was added as seed; this time the seed did not dissolve and promoted the product crystallization. The mixture was cooled to 15 'C over 3.5 hours. The slurry was aged overnight and then was filtered under vacuum; the cake was dried at 30'C in a vacuum oven for 18 hours to afford 3.1 g of a white solid. The solid showed an XRPD pattern concordant to Form A. Examples 10 and 11 procedures demonstrate that the water content in the ethanol system can affect production of Forms A and C by a seeded approach. The formation of Form A material is possible in ethanol 96%, whereas the formation of Form C from a Form C crystal required use of ethanol HPLC grade 99.8%. Example 12 Preparation of (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo 4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide Form C 35 WO 2015/067787 PCT/EP2014/074108 Amorphous (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4 thia-i-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide (8 g) was weighed in a 50 ml Multimax vessel equipped with an impeller stirrer. The solid was suspended in 20 ml of ethanol HPLC grade 99.8%. The mixture was heated to 40 'C and stirred at 800 RPM. At 40 'C the starting material was dissolved. The solution was cooled to 36 'C over 10 minutes and Form C material (24 mg) was added to the solution as seed; the seed was not dissolved and promoted the product crystallization. After 15 minutes stirring at 36 'C the mixture was cooled to 15 'C over 3.5 hours. The slurry was aged overnight and then was filtered under vacuum in nitrogen atmosphere (a funnel connected to a nitrogen flux was put over the filter). The cake was washed with 8 ml of ethanol HPLC grade 99.8%. The cake was dried inside the filter at 30 'C in a vacuum oven for 2 hours, after this time the product was transferred to a crystallizer and dried for further 16 hours. The product was analyzed by 1
H
NMR to check the solvent content and showed the presence of ~1.3% w/w of ethanol. The cake was further dried at 35 'C in the vacuum oven for 6 hours. A new sample was taken and analyzed by 1 H-NMR for solvent content. The ethanol residual was comparable to the first sample. The product was stored at -20 'C for the week-end and then put in the vacuum oven at 40 'C for 24 hours to yield 6 g of the product. The solid showed an XRPD pattern concordant with Form C. 1 H-NMR confirmed the presence of ~1.3% w/w of ethanol residual in the cake. The decrease of the seed loading did not have any negative impact on the product crystallization and was implemented in the scaled-up procedure as described in Example 13. Example 13 Preparation scale up of (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1 yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide Form C at 36 g scale. Amorphous (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl-3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4 thia-i-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide (36.45 g) was weighed in a 250 ml multimax vessel equipped with an impeller stirrer. The solid was suspended in 146 ml of ethanol HPLC grade 99.8%. The mixture was heated to 40 'C over 20 minutes. After 15 36 WO 2015/067787 PCT/EP2014/074108 minutes at 40 'C the starting material was completely dissolved and the solution was cooled to 36 'C over 10 minutes and Form C material (110 mg) was added to the solution as seed; the seed was not dissolved and promoted the product crystallization. After 10 minutes stirring at 36 'C the mixture was cooled to 15 'C over 3.5 hours. The obtained mixture was aged overnight and then was filtered under vacuum. The cake was washed with 40 ml of ethanol HPLC grade 99.8% and three times with 40 ml of methyl tert-butyl ether to remove residual ethanol from the cake. The cake was deliquored in nitrogen atmosphere (a funnel connected to a nitrogen flux was put over the filter) under vacuum. The cake was dried in a vacuum oven for 24 hours to yield 26.8 g of the final product as a white solid. The solid was analyzed by XRPD, TGA, optical microscopy (OM) and 1 H-NMR. The XRPD analysis of the product showed crystalline material with a pattern consistent with Form C (Figure 20). The TGA analysis for the product (Figure 21) shows a weight loss of circa 2% up to 120'C probably due to adsorbed water and solvent residual. The OM analysis in Figure 22 shows Form C crystals. Birifrangent particles using polarized light could be seen. The 1 H-NMR spectrum (Figure 23) is consistent with the structure of (2S,3S,5R)-3-methyl 3-((3-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-3-ium-1-yl)methyl)-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2 carboxylate 4,4-dioxide. The ethanol residue was calculated comparing the ethanol signal at 1.06 ppm and the API signal at 1.40 ppm. Considering integrals values, number of protons and the molecular weight of the reference signals the estimated ethanol residue is equal to 0.4 % w/w respect to the API. Solubility assessment in saline physiological solution The Form C solubility was calculated by HPLC employing a dedicated walk-up method. The product obtained by the scaled up procedure described in Example 13 was used to perform the experiments. 1.9 g of the product was suspended in 1 ml of commercial physiologic solution (0.9% of NaCl) at ambient temperature (~20 'C). The suspension resulted slightly opaque and quite 37 WO 2015/067787 PCT/EP2014/074108 viscous after 30 min. After this time the suspension was sampled and the sample injected in HPLC to determine its concentration. After 2 hrs stirring the solid residue was completely dissolved. The addition of more solid was not performed to avoid the gelatinisation of the viscous solution. A sample was taken and injected in HPLC to determine its concentration. The solution was stirred other 3 hrs and sampled again. The 5 hrs sample was also injected in HPLC to determine its concentration. The HPLC traces did not show the formation of significant impurities. Table 9 shows the solubility results for the time-points selected.
